埃里森的英文介绍

Lawrence Joseph “Larry” Ellison is an American business magnate, co-founder and chief executive officer of Oracle Corporation, a major enterprise software company. As of 2011 he is the fifth richest person in the world, with a personal wealth of $39.5 billion.

Larry Ellison was born in New York City to Florence Spellman, an unwed 19-year-old. Ellison graduated from Eugene Field Elementary School on Chicago’s north side in January, 1958 and attended Sullivan High School at least through the fall of 1959 before moving to South Shore.

Ellison and his partners won a two-year contract to build a relational database management system (RDBMS) for the CIA. The project’s code name: Oracle. They finished the project a year ahead of schedule and used the extra time to develop their system for commercial applications. They named their commercial RDBMS Oracle as well. In 1980, Ellison’s company had only eight employees, and revenues were less than $1 million, but the following year, IBM itself adopted Oracle for its mainframe systems, and Oracle’s sales doubled every year for the next seven years. The million dollar company was becoming a billion dollar company. Ellison renamed the company Oracle Corporation, for its best-selling product.

Today, Lawrence Ellison has his principal home in Woodside, California. He served as President of Oracle from 1978 to 1996, and undertook two stints as Chairman of the Board, from 1990 to 1992, and again from 1995 to 2004. Since its founding, he has been Oracle’s only Chief Executive Officer.

他的公司Oracle专注于关系数据库和企业软件等，现为世界上仅次于微软的第二大的软件公司，是SAP的直接竞争者，自2010年甲骨文成功收购Sun公司以来，甲骨文整合了java和Sun的硬件，正迈向“软硬”结合的发展之路，2011年埃里森甚至公开表示甲骨文将公开与IBM和惠普进行硬件市场的竞争。

埃里森在32岁以前还一事无成，读了三个大学，没得到一个学位文凭，换了十几家公司，老婆也离他而去，开始创业时只有1200美元，却使得Oracle公司连续十二年销售额每年翻一番，成为世界上第二大的软件公司，他拥有的Oracle是世界上较大的数据库软件公司。埃里森以不择手段的经营手腕和强力甚至欺骗的市场竞争，击败了一个又一个的对手，埃里森要打倒的最后一个目标就是软件帝国之王微软的比尔·盖茨。
